Ahh it's been awhile.
Anyways I'm planning on putting a GBA SP into the case of a GBC. To my dismay I've found out that the GBC is a hair thinner (in width) than the SP. So I'm planning on using the back of the SP and the front of the GBC. It's going to look pretty wacky, sort of like the brain children of Porky's Chimera project from Mother 3: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... esnake.png" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I guess I'll be chronicling my project here. I'll make "mock-ups" later. Feel free to leave suggestions, comments, questions, and concerns.

Re: Chimera-Boy Advance!
It's one of those things. If you have to ask then no you can't fix it.
Buy a semi broken sp off Ebay and swap screens.

Re: Chimera-Boy Advance!
Haha I'm new at all of this so I don't know. I think I'm just going to take an SP from one of my friends and take the screen. Thanks!hailrazer wrote:It's one of those things. If you have to ask then no you can't fix it.

Re: Chimera-Boy Advance!
What would be good to use as a spacer between the plastic buttons and the tacts? The buttons don't quite reach...
